Our brand new Cortina All Levels trip Aug 5-10, 2024 is confirmed to run! Sign up before bookings close on May 15.

This is a Level 1 trip, so it’s perfect for level 1 trail runners that might not want to run all the vert and miles on their vacation, but don’t want to miss out on views.

It’s also the only trip where we’ve created completely unstructured time outside of the guiding. You’ll be guided from morning to afternoon on the runs with an expert local mountain guide who will take you around the highlights of the Cortina Dolomites. All transfers and lifts to varying locations will be booked for you and with local knowledge, you’ll cut off extra elevation and mileage so that you’ll still see the best views and run the best of Cortina’s scenic highlights. In the afternoons and evenings you are free to explore all the restaurants, cafes, and various side adventures in the area! Join us this August!

We are LOV👏 ING the amount of solo travelers on our guided and self-guided trips this summer. We think joining a guided Runcation as a solo traveler is the perfect way to join a group of like-minded runners and link up with new trail friends and runners from all over the world. Our self-guided trips are also the perfect opportunity to go solo at your own pace and date timeline. The details are taken care of by us so that you can enjoy the gift of solo time on the trails while also connecting with other travelers from all over the world at the many stops along the route.

29/09/2023

A lot of participants this summer asked how started, and it was my first trip running hut to hut in the Dolomites that inspired our original Runcation. I was always looking to move, run, and travel through places, but found backpacking too slow and heavy, and bikepacking wasn’t what I was searching for. The hut system there was finally a way to run point-to-point through a landscape without having to return back to a trailhead, car, or hotel at the end of the day.

With the added bonus of the sweetness of Italian Dolomite rifugio life, it transformed a long distance running experience into a true vacation. Compared with the more wilderness trail experiences I was used to in the U.S., how ridiculously novel is it to enjoy a sauna or prosecco cake and ice cream in the middle of the mountains post-run??

One of our participants on our first trip described rifugio life as adult summer camp, and I think that’s a perfect way to describe the communal accommodation style. It is for people that don’t want to turn around and leave the mountains at the end of their run and instead waste away the afternoon hanging out in a meadow soaking their feet in a stream and eating local cheese from the rifugio cheese shop until being called in for a 3-course dinner. Or look out the window at any point in the day with an uninterrupted view of the changing colors and light on the Pelmo from sunset to stars to sunrise. Rifugio/mountain hut life is also for people that want time away from high speed Wi-Fi to disconnect and enjoy a beer or delicious Italian lemon soda and be more present with those they’re traveling with, as well as others passing through the mountains.

With the special treat of all your baggage transported for you, I’m grateful for the experience each time, and it’s the trip I make sure I’m on every summer. 😊
